TCU will soon realize that leaving CUSA for the Mountain West is a HUGE mistake ..... They left a basketball power conference that had OK football for a conference that was average at best in both sports ..... and they lose any kind of regional travel abilities (as grump already explained)

But I doubt they would be interested in any reborn SWC, might be too "regional" for the always high aspiring Horned Frogs .....

I also think it is a mistake for any SLC school at the moment to think about going totally DI, UTSA would have no right being in a reborn SWC .... not as a new football school .....

That being said I am all in favor of a new Southwest Conference, it is an excellent choice for smaller budget DI schools .... good rivalries, great travel costs, and it really would not be that bad of a league .... who would be in it, some choices?

Houston
North Texas
Rice
TCU (Should be, but they might think they are better than it)
UTEP
Louisiana Tech
ULM

any SLC school that would want to move up to DI
